NTPC Deputy Manager Recruitment 2026 - Salary Rs 70000 to 200000, Apply now

NTPC Limited has invited online applications for 9 Deputy Manager posts under Advertisement No. 14/26: 3 Mechanical Erection, 1 C&I Erection and 5 Civil Construction. This is a special recruitment drive for OBC candidates only, and it needs a B.E./B.Tech with 60% marks and 10 years of executive experience. Applications are open from 16 to 30 October 2026.

Who Should Apply

This is not a fresher recruitment, and it is open only to OBC candidates. Reports of the notification describe it as a special drive for OBC candidates. [check] Read the notification for the exact category and certificate rules.

• Deputy Manager (Mechanical Erection) — 3 posts: B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical or Production, with at least 3 years of site experience in erection, maintenance or commissioning in the mechanical area
• Deputy Manager (C&I Erection) — 1 post: B.E./B.Tech in Electronics, Control & Instrumentation or Instrumentation, with at least 3 years of hands-on erection, maintenance or commissioning experience in C&I
• Deputy Manager (Civil Construction) — 5 posts: B.E./B.Tech in Civil or Construction, with at least 3 years of civil construction site experience

Eligibility & Age Limit

For all three posts you need a B.E./B.Tech in the discipline above, from a recognised university or institution, with at least 60% marks. You also need a minimum of 10 years of post-qualification executive experience in the power, steel, refinery, fertilizer, oil and gas, or cement sectors, which must include the site experience listed for each post.

Age: the upper age limit is 43 years as on 30 October 2026, the closing date. You can check your exact age as on the cut-off date.

Relaxation in the upper age limit is where the sources disagree:

• A news report of the notification mentions only a 10-year relaxation for persons with disabilities and relaxation for ex-servicemen as per Government rules.
• The source article also lists 5 years for SC/ST, 3 years for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) and 13 and 15 years for PwBD candidates in other categories, which looks copied from NTPC's standard notices and may not apply in an OBC-only drive.

[check] Confirm the exact relaxation, including what applies to OBC PwBD candidates, in the notification.

Salary & Pay Scale

The pay scale is ₹70,000 to ₹2,00,000 per month, so the starting basic pay is ₹70,000. The ₹2,00,000 is the top of the scale, not what a new joiner gets. The source does not give a gross or in-hand figure.

Why This Job Matters

NTPC is India's largest power generation company and a Maharatna public sector enterprise. Deputy Manager is an executive-level post at a power project or station, and this drive fills just 9 posts, which makes each seat very specialised.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: An OBC engineer with 10 or more years of executive experience in power, steel, refinery, fertilizer, oil and gas or cement, including 3 years on site in erection, commissioning or civil construction, who wants a senior engineering post at NTPC.

Who should think twice: This is closed to freshers and to candidates outside the OBC category, and it only counts executive-level experience in the listed sectors, so many experienced engineers will not qualify.

Practical tip: Before you apply, check that your 10 years are counted after you finished your degree, are at executive level and are in one of the listed sectors, and that your experience certificates state your designation and your site role, because those two points are what decide eligibility.

Documents Required

The source gives no document list. [check] Confirm it in the notification. Expect to need:

• B.E./B.Tech degree certificate and mark sheets showing at least 60%
• Experience certificates showing 10 years of executive-level work and 3 years of site experience in the relevant field
• OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate in the format the notification asks for
• Proof of date of birth
• Disability certificate or ex-servicemen discharge certificate, where applicable

What Happens After Selection

The source gives no information on joining, probation, medical examination or posting. [check] Check the notification. NTPC posts executives at its stations, projects and subsidiaries, but I could not confirm the exact posting rules.
